My husband bought me a dozen red roses on our first date, but I was ready for them roses I had to kiss alot of frogs before I got my prince. Dont stop being you but make sure your not giving your pearls to swine
Your comment is very inspiring. I haven't found my prince yet but when I do I will give the exact same advice to anyone who asks me. Thanks for sharing
Preach it Tripp! I’m glad part of my time is dedicated to listening to your story times and getting a share in your journey. I agree that social media has made dating and maintaining relationships much more complicated and at times impossible. I’m not in the dating game any more but when I was I like to get to really know the person - I’m more the old school like you mentioned. Too many folks miss the joy of romancing another person and build memories. Sex is cool but love is soooo much better.
24:40 "Sex is easier to get. Love is harder to find." - Tripp Ali (2019). THAT SHIT IS REAL! PUT IT ON A GODDAMN T-SHIRT! Honestly, Mr. Tripp, I'm very eerily similar to you, it's scary because I too am empathetic, humble, patient and compassionate and I too am a hopeless romantic! Like, I'm only 22 but my first time going on a date with another gay guy was when I was 21, and before the date we talked on Tinder and texted each other for 3 weeks straight, almost everyday, it was so wholesome! Then on the first date I bought him a bouquet of 12 yellow roses, and I got him these different types of skincare products that were all natural and organic and great for his hands and face cus he's a farmer (he was 24), and these handmade spoons made out of honey. HE LOVED IT! We spent the whole day together going to 4 different museums and the casino, we walked around the city, we went to this nice little Puerto Rican restaurant as opposed to the really fancy Italian restaurant that was full! The night really was like a fairytale! A few weeks later I even went to his farm and met his farm family and farm animals and all the crops! We still continued to talked for about 2 months! Even though we don't talk anymore I enjoyed the fact that I waited to have these experiences with someone who was right for me! I like being super duper romantic and I'm glad I waited to give my time and energy to someone who I felt deserved it! Even though our time together was brief it felt so fulfilling and I'm thankful my patience brought me the romantic and intimate experiences I had with him.
You're the last of a dying breed. It's rare to find someone chivalrous, ready for real dates, holding real dialogue and real one on one relationships. That dude wasn't prepared or probably even built for what you have to offer. It's crazy out here.
You are speaking mad facts rn and I love you for that like as soon as your videos pop up I go watch because one I know it’s gonna be something good and two I kno your about to speak some facts 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽Keep being and doing great love your videos💜💜💜💜💯👑
Even before the Social media age it was a challenge in the community. Sad. You are right, when it comes to dudes, they CAN be so easily and quickly distracted. So looking for quality becomes of the utmost importance. There are many happily married couples here but we have learned (through trial and error in many instances) to put a little distance between ourselves and the larger lgbt+ community. This is a bit unfortunate but very necessary. Chilvary is NOT dead. It may not be mainstream anymore but it is still alive as exhibited by you on this particular date. Tripp, you are SO right. Be careful with whom you give your time and attention to. There are others like you out here. Continue to be still and know. You are such a good brother and i really want that for you. You deserve a solid healthy long term relationship with a solid upright partner. One where YOU are cherished and appreciated. It is possible!!! - From a guy who just celebrated 27 wonderful and love-filled years with his solid upright partner.
I'm friends with a lot of feminine tops and some masculine bottoms. You're right; it's really weird when people say they want a serious relationship but...they don't have on clothes in any of their pictures
Good morning cousin. Whatchu doin to me im suppose to get ready to go to work but your storie time videos got me hooked.👋🏾👋🏾 I just can't get enough off of them!💯💯💯
Yass shidd my first date my husband bought me roses & my sisters some cookies from an Italian bakery 😋 (he’s white) No it’s not to much your showing your a gentleman and can hold your own weight.
I was just thinking about all of this the other day. Thanks Trip. But as long as there's people around like us. Dating isn't dead. Just harder to find. Or to be honest. Damn near impossible. lol.
In a day where its rough to keep the attention from social media, you have the skill of a genuine storytelling. Hope you take it further. You have a gift. #TripperPlugged
I would do it the same way my brother . Living honestly is hard . Glad you did not let another persons opinion (cashier) stop you from being who you are . Much respect
#OMGTripp you got me with this one bru.You really touched my heart because you just don't find men any more who do what you done on this first date man.I pray to god every day for a man with your qualities and he never comes I'm 2 years out of a 9 1/2 years relationship with another guy that ended up to be a liar and a cheater and now that I have been so searching for my next it's been impossible to find him my hats off to you for going out of your way to do things that you did and being you.You did'bt have to do what you did for this man who did not appreciate what he had right in front of him I wish you the best in your search for your next And please don't let this situation change who you are as a man.You will find him and he will appreciate you for you God-bless you and thank you for this story time you are remarkable beautiful handsome intelligent and sexy and any man would be lucky to have you in his life as a friend lover partner husband and these are some ever changing times.Your right about everything you said here and it's good to know there's still good men like you left in this world today much lover #Tripper
Wow my friends always say i don't give people chances. I left people go for the simplest things. But i totally feel you... i don't wanna waste too much time
Some people truly are happy being single. And they do like hookups and casual dating. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you're honest. You have to realize everybody doesn't want the same thing out of life
Peace & Knowledge... Wuz Gud Kinfolkz ... We may love the Wrong person...Cry fo tha Wrong person... One thing Is sho, Mistakes helps Us find tha right One ... And Im sayin that ta say ... Tripp when ya understand a dude beyond his words, that is when a real relationship builds up. Enjoy ya day mane and keep tha stories coming aaiight ...✌
This was the video that got me to subscribe. There is a type of person who, because nothing and no one is perfect, will always imagine how a glass of tea or a seating arrangement could be better. And for some of those persons, the slightest bit less than the best is trash. That person is only happy when he’s miserable. When he told you that he could only be part of a trio, you dodged a bullet. That was God blessing you.
Man you are speaking from the depths of your soul! we must go through bad dates to get to the right person. we have to weed through the mess to get our prize! stay on point Brother!
I always love the intros to Tripps videos. "It was just a regular day..." And you're right about people being able to you, better than talking to you in person.. We have to do better.
First of all I was done you waited for the table and no thank you for waiting for the table in the first place was wrong. OMG I so feel you I disappoint people a lot because I am a get to know type.
Hey T, my bro. Since the Universe attracted me to your channel a few days ago, I can't get enough. You are making me feel a certain kind of way, and it's ALL good! How come I didn't meet you before leaving Atlanta just last year? Keep It Up Brother! Much LoVe!!!
Tripp maybe he was shy....... I mean that was the first time seeing you face to face....... I don't talk much when I first meet someone because I have to get comfortable with them
I love going on dates because its just another way for me to know the person. Laughing and seeing how things work. Thats my spectating step for real and i cant skip that.
Someone bought me something on the first date. He bought me something he heard me talk about in a conversation we had previously. We had talked on the phone for a month before we actually met so he paid attention to our conversation.
all of what you have said about modern dating is so incredibly true for both genders and btw that candle was a very thoughtful idea it speaks volumes about your character and your heart
Wow that started off with negativity ... That is really sad if they are so blind it that they didn't see that you our going to be a blessing to whoever you settle down with keep being you much respect ✝️ u must no you're WORTH..I 💓your mind and what u stand for...
Your thoughts and ideals are very special. I am happy to see that there are others out there that still have these. Our current society is so non social except on social media and it's a damn shame.
You are a real cool dude! I wish you were straight...lol. I have a few good girlfriends who are seeking someone like you! You are gonna make some guy very happy one day! Be Blessed!
Also I heard my favorite song as a teen when I was in the gym today and when I heard it I immediately thought of Tripp Ali this was the song that I would hear every day on the A.m. frequency before going to work. Seeing that tripp grew up in the 80s and early 90s it should be a favorite of his as well and that song was foreigner "I wanna what love is" once if the best meaningful songs ever written and it included a real choir and real instruments which I way different from the music that we have been getting for a long time now. Anyone remembers when Disney movies use to have great song tracks that had meaning ? Casper remember me this way?Elton John can you feel the love tonight, Vanessa Williams colors of the wind? Or phil Collins you be in my heart? Probably it was just me then lol lol
Tripper , I posted earlier in another video about being Real and Straight Up. It's unbelievable how a lot of Ungrateful and Ignorant some people can be. This guy Displayed 4 Red Flags in my book. I was Done. Trip, so nice that You would still give him a gift. Me , he would have NEVER known about it what soever !!! Hats off to You Mr. Classy.
I disagree about social media causing hookup culture. It's always existed. As a matter of fact it was more prevalent in the 70s and 80s than it is today. Social media just exposed it and made easy for shy and awkward people to hook up.
He was a Top Blouse😹😹😹😹😭😂, I was done after the I need a 3way comment,when he couldn’t pay attention to the 1 at the table. Atl is not the City to date, when it’s a city of let’s just kick it type of people. Not all. But Damn near that Attitude.
Dating these days is just like shopping for clothes these days.... specifically like an H&M... a lot of cheap, cute pieces, In mass quantity, but no depth, or quality.. totally disposable.... I hope you find a good guy who deserves you, but be very discerning.... because a lot of guys flat out aren’t worth a shit: 1. They don’t know how to clearly communicate 2.) Don’t understand chivalry or romance. 3.) Don’t know how to “woo”, anyone. 4.) Hell, some don’t even have decent table manners or basic hygiene.... but that’s another topic... With all of the whack ass dates I’ve been on, I refuse to waste my time or a good outfit any longer... haven’t been on a date in close to a year and the last time I was asked, I respectfully and politely declined... didn’t even want to risk being annoyed. Now.... All I do is dress and rest!!! 👊🏾🙌🏾
Tripp this is why I don't believe in Internet dating because most of the time the profiles people put out there are never who they really are in person,Tripp I can see u are a person of great values,I prefer the old fashioned way as u say,meet the guy at the supermarket or the clothes store where u can share a cup of coffee, no its not corny to do the things u do tripp,u are a gentleman, and too many times some of the people who use social media as a fake platform to get what they want,so true tripp,I do want love and like u said u get what u put out,and if u don't value u then u won't get that special guy or girl out there,Tripp u will find that special guy just as I will,we may have no ideas and technology but values don't change, love is real but we just have to open our heart for it to come in,and a word for that guy who use all excuses because he was a fake,Tripp u too good ,that's his lost not yours,now I can see why u my favorite cousin tripp,well said.
It's so bad out here, I dont trust a man. AT ALL!!! The internet fuked it all up for me!!! I think everybody is on the Down Low now!!! Cept for the "out" Fellas. Lol
Tripp my man I love the fact that your a gentlemen however, I've learned over the years if someone is feeling you they will make time for you no matter what. oh by the way I speak to folks online too, but doesn't' mean I want to meet them. I met my ex online we talked for about 1 years off and one before we meet each other. one of the best relationship I had.... I perfectly happy being alone, I love myself more.
i love your testimony and the detailing you bring forth. lol. this is a perfectly timed revealing. i was recently asked to be in a polyamorous relationship. i'm so not into that, but did consider it. i really liked the guy proposing it. but yea...no.
You are a very special person and you deserve someone who will appreciate you and your passion for love . I love all your videos and i think you will find that special someone because you are a special kinda of dude. Also if i didnt have someone special in my life i would totally love to find a guy with the quality you possess. Do the damn thang my friend go for yours my sexy brotha
It's still some of us out here that wants a relationship. Wants to date and get to know someone. Not into the hook up stuff. Treat yourself like a king. Stick to your guns, you will find what your looking for..
Another One! (DJ Khalid voice) Appreciate the time you take making these video speaking the Real, Raw, and Uncut truth. Much love Tripp and fellow comment cousins. (How did this storytime get a discussion going about is he a bottom? Like Chilllll lol focus on the greater discussion.
I have actually given a gift on the first date and I believe in chivalry. When such acts of sincere kindness presents itself, consider yourself Worthy of the intimacy and respect of your nature as it is a reflection of your divine soul🕊🙏🏾🕊🎼🌹
Hello Tripp i am living in the state of Texas yes I will love to be loved bye a person there isn't anything wrong that but always believe in your self Thanks
You called him a blouse...lol...I died right there. It's never corny to be who you are. Listen, you right. You gotta see how a person moves in real life and it requires meeting in person. The sooner the better.
Cuzzo, he was afraid of you rejecting him. If he wanted a three way he would have said it online. He let that come out of his mouth at the table because that was his way of sabotaging everything. His conversation and body language after the date was mentioned says it all.
Favorite Cousin you dropped some real knowledge tonight. I've been single for a year by choice now I'm ready to start dating now I dont know where all the good guys went, I considered checking out some dating websites do you think thats a wise choice ❤️❤️❤️
So true I know I'm to old for thr newness cuzzin...good luck to you many blessings..I was just with someone that didnt match me I could say negative stuff but why its was good when it was good...and when it got bad I had to leave..so true people give you a representative lure you in..anyway longwinded here love to you!!
You are right man. You got to meet in person to see where they coming from. I done the social media thing and when I met the person I was like what the h...… Everything I was told was a lie.
Hello I just happened to pass through and saw one of your posts, forgive me if I forgot which one but they are all amazing. I am an older man but young at heart, I forget I am 52 and I do get compliments that I look younger. Point being that I watched and listened to you and you address many great issues and god bless, your stories and situations eye opening. almost close to home. I find you like myself a hopeless romantic. Unfortunately the use of dating apps have lost their shine.I will admit that i have done hook ups, but engaged in great people and really tried to keep a flow. Did not work. Shortly thank you for your voice, hopefully many people who are listening will change the format of dating. Face to face.
Cousin Tripp, Microwave Love. Yep, people on apps don't date! Don't believe one damn thing people put on their profiles, and their social media! Love from Orlando
Unfortunately Tripp, most people today are raised in a single family environment; so they haven't seen two adults that love and show a commitment to each other. You've said it yourself, we live in the computer ages and everyone is looking for quick gratification. This is not the world or society that our parents raised us up in. It is what it is. That's basically why I live and stay to myself. Some will say I'm cheating myself, I say , I like my peace and sanity. Hope you find that person you're looking for!
Thank You for the video. I FEEL YOU. That's why I live the Sugar Daddy life. Maybe someday that will change... But I'm NOT getting my HOPES up in terms of LOVE.
I believe in real love, just people are just unreal online or not. It feels great to be approached by a guy in the store or out publicly . If they do approach you its a whole story line instead of just saying i'm feeling you
That's because you have discussed most of if not everything about each other. And it can be that whatever you were told in your text conversation may not have been true but that is what you look to find out when you meet
So when we going on our first date??? I love Bath and Body Works. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Now you starting to preach now... Just stop looking it will find you...😭😭😭 Thank you Tripp. I needed to hear that part.
Now you know darn well you can't let no one see you vulnerable for two reasons, reason 1, the other person couldn't handle it, it would totally short circuit their brains and 2, they don't respect vulnerability they would totally treat you like shit, don't get me wrong I'm cool with a man who can show who they are on the inside, I started dating back in the 70s, we were cool, back then it was face to face you could meet a dude with a smile and there wasn't any craziness then
I want love but believe I continuously look for it in all the wrong places, then when I see what I want, I can't have it even after spending time with them and seeing their true self, but in the mist of "DATING" I've met the representative several times, then the real person comes to the table, which is not for me!
You hitting me in the chest Tripp I dont feel alone in this anymore. I am open to love. I love being in love sharing my life with someone. This single shit sucks and I get on my own nerves.
Yeah boss you better than me. Flag #1: Endless texting Flag #2: Farting around in regards to setting a date Flag #3: Complaining about everything Flag #4: Treating the staff like crap Four flags are enough to ask for a To-Go box and for the check.
Seems strange he wasn't honest enough to tell you what type of relationship he was interested in during the time you two were DMing each other back and forth, doesn't it? Don't take this the wrong way, but a couple of things I've noticed about you from listening to a couple of your storytimes: (1) you wear your heart on your sleeve, and (2) even though red flags are waving furiously in front of your face, for some reason, you simply ignore them and keep trying to make things work out until it blows up in your face. When he called you complaining about not being able to find a parking spot, knowing that you had intentionally gotten to the restaurant two hours early, specifically for HIS benefit, was the first red flag that this person is somewhat inconsiderate. And, yes, I agree with the cashier; I wouldn't buy a gift for a complete stranger, meeting them for the very first time - who does that? A person who wears their heart on their sleeve, that's who.
Rodentcafeteria omg that's exactly what I was trying to say meaning if a nigga complains about the WATER and FOOD okay u got issues and a PARKING SPACE omg u DNT have to be dramatic about it just be HAPPY and positive that you meeting him I seriously don't understand how they vibes threw texting because I know yet just hold words but yes tripp you should know a lil bit better than that
rodentcafeteria You gotta realize, some people are old school when it comes to dating..People like him, like romance, and romantic gestures..I remember dating with such purity, sincerity, and honesty....Now a days dating consist of a like on a post or sliding into someone's DM..lol..WTF ?...Smh.. Everything today is so stale, and generic..Nothing is from the heart anymore.. And one of the reasons is people have to many options... Everything is so microwaveable..
@@loveyu2778 Old school? When I was your age (and I'm significantly older than you), there was no social media, Instagram, Facebook, sliding into someone's DM, none of that shit. So, I know about old school. If you met someone, it was in the workplace, through a mutual friend, a party, etc. There was no on-line chatting or getting to know someone via emails. You're an old soul attempting to find love or true companionship in today's "microwaveable" society and that it virtually impossible (though not totally impossible). You seem like a genuinely nice guy and I get where you're coming from, but if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to STOP IGNORING RED FLAGS! God gave us "intuition" for a reason, and if something doesn't feel right, it's best to leave it alone in the early stages and you'll save yourself a lot of grief.
I believe in real love even doe I never had a man or been in a relationship at first I had low self-esteem but then as I grew older I realized that the world still goes on and now I am still single but I know God will bless me one day with that special person I dated true..and honestly I do got my apps still but I never hook up from those apps because my experience and tripp you absolutely right my soulmate could be out there because we only live life once
My husband bought me a dozen red roses on our first date, but I was ready for them roses I had to kiss alot of frogs before I got my prince. Dont stop being you but make sure your not giving your pearls to swine
Your comment is very inspiring. I haven't found my prince yet but when I do I will give the exact same advice to anyone who asks me. Thanks for sharing
@@annequa1 Your welcome Tangie
It was actually sweet for you to buy a gift on the first date. It shows you cared enough.
And its a very Gentleman thing to do!
He is bringing back class and ettiquete to dating.
Tripp, you got a thing for storytelling...they all got me at my edge of my seat..Thank You!
Maybe u should tell him
Best storytimes ever!! I love watching you ❤️💙
"Be careful who you give your time too"🙄🙄🙄This is a remarkable qoute of all times ✌️❤️

I CAN’T WITH THAT INTRO... “IT WAS JUST A REGULAR DAY.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Dating in the social media age is so impersonal. If you're looking for a REAL connection it's difficult.

Very wise words. There is nothing wrong with a gift that’s very attractive by putting effort into a person first date or not.
That’s so true you never know a person until you are around them
In a day where its rough to keep the attention from social media, you have the skill of a genuine storytelling. Hope you take it further. You have a gift. #TripperPlugged

Tripp...the advice you gave in this video was off the chain Bro! Thank you!
Thank You Much Tripp, I Thought I Was The Only One Thinking About This
I love going on dates because its just another way for me to know the person. Laughing and seeing how things work. Thats my spectating step for real and i cant skip that.
Okay. I stopped right before the middle of this video. This date started out wrong when he sat down. Some people!
Someone bought me something on the first date. He bought me something he heard me talk about in a conversation we had previously. We had talked on the phone for a month before we actually met so he paid attention to our conversation.
all of what you have said about modern dating is so incredibly true for both genders and btw that candle was a very thoughtful idea it speaks volumes about your character and your heart
Hey Cuzzo, thoroughly enjoying these story times! Thanks for sharing them.
Wow that started off with negativity ... That is really sad if they are so blind it that they didn't see that you our going to be a blessing to whoever you settle down with keep being you much respect ✝️ u must no you're WORTH..I 💓your mind and what u stand for...
Pass the collection plate..You said that!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Your thoughts and ideals are very special. I am happy to see that there are others out there that still have these. Our current society is so non social except on social media and it's a damn shame.
Preach ! What about real 💘 ?
Bring back chivalry. Open doors. If you are lead to give a gift the 1st date, go ahead. Life is about taking a chance.
You for sure telling truth.......I feel the same way.
It’s funny when a person says they want different and get it. Then crushes the value. Once it is gone, complain 🤦🏽♂️
You are a real cool dude! I wish you were straight...lol. I have a few good girlfriends who are seeking someone like you! You are gonna make some guy very happy one day! Be Blessed!
But tripp the most important thing in life honestly it's yourself first the rest will attach
Also I heard my favorite song as a teen when I was in the gym today and when I heard it I immediately thought of Tripp Ali this was the song that I would hear every day on the A.m. frequency before going to work. Seeing that tripp grew up in the 80s and early 90s it should be a favorite of his as well and that song was foreigner "I wanna what love is" once if the best meaningful songs ever written and it included a real choir and real instruments which I way different from the music that we have been getting for a long time now. Anyone remembers when Disney movies use to have great song tracks that had meaning ? Casper remember me this way?Elton John can you feel the love tonight, Vanessa Williams colors of the wind? Or phil Collins you be in my heart? Probably it was just me then lol lol
I meant school not work
I love that song
Tripper , I posted earlier in another video about being Real and Straight Up. It's unbelievable how a lot of Ungrateful and Ignorant some people can be. This guy Displayed 4 Red Flags in my book. I was Done. Trip, so nice that You would still give him a gift. Me , he would have NEVER known about it what soever !!! Hats off to You Mr. Classy.
U had my heart at dating is dead. I luv u man!!!
Lots of truth in your talk tripper, talk your talk, I feel you, lots of things not happening now ppl change
I disagree about social media causing hookup culture. It's always existed. As a matter of fact it was more prevalent in the 70s and 80s than it is today. Social media just exposed it and made easy for shy and awkward people to hook up.
Wow! this is so true today. Thanks for this video.
He was a Top Blouse😹😹😹😹😭😂, I was done after the I need a 3way comment,when he couldn’t pay attention to the 1 at the table. Atl is not the City to date, when it’s a city of let’s just kick it type of people. Not all. But Damn near that Attitude.
Riiite
Got me at the Blouse!!
Dating these days is just like shopping for clothes these days.... specifically like an H&M... a lot of cheap, cute pieces, In mass quantity, but no depth, or quality.. totally disposable....
I hope you find a good guy who deserves you, but be very discerning.... because a lot of guys flat out aren’t worth a shit:
1. They don’t know how to clearly communicate
2.) Don’t understand chivalry or romance.
3.) Don’t know how to “woo”, anyone.
4.) Hell, some don’t even have decent table manners or basic hygiene.... but that’s another topic...
With all of the whack ass dates I’ve been on, I refuse to waste my time or a good outfit any longer... haven’t been on a date in close to a year and the last time I was asked, I respectfully and politely declined... didn’t even want to risk being annoyed.
Now....
All I do is dress and rest!!!
👊🏾🙌🏾
I'm looking for, ready for real love and ready to put in the work. Just need someone willing to take the same commitment.
Tripp this is why I don't believe in Internet dating because most of the time the profiles people put out there are never who they really are in person,Tripp I can see u are a person of great values,I prefer the old fashioned way as u say,meet the guy at the supermarket or the clothes store where u can share a cup of coffee, no its not corny to do the things u do tripp,u are a gentleman, and too many times some of the people who use social media as a fake platform to get what they want,so true tripp,I do want love and like u said u get what u put out,and if u don't value u then u won't get that special guy or girl out there,Tripp u will find that special guy just as I will,we may have no ideas and technology but values don't change, love is real but we just have to open our heart for it to come in,and a word for that guy who use all excuses because he was a fake,Tripp u too good ,that's his lost not yours,now I can see why u my favorite cousin tripp,well said.
I’m tired of being by myself.
It's so bad out here, I dont trust a man.
AT ALL!!!
The internet fuked it all up for me!!! I think everybody is on the Down Low now!!! Cept for the "out" Fellas. Lol
@@antJaxStar TOTALLY AGREED!
Trip what I've learned in life and you basically said it , we attract who we are! If I'm crazy , what do you think I'll attract? For the most part
Tripp my man I love the fact that your a gentlemen however, I've learned over the years if someone is feeling you they will make time for you no matter what. oh by the way I speak to folks online too, but doesn't' mean I want to meet them. I met my ex online we talked for about 1 years off and one before we meet each other. one of the best relationship I had.... I perfectly happy being alone, I love myself more.
Some people have been rejected mutliple times by the same person and they end up married. Happened to my cousin.
Damn this was nothing but facts.. damn I swear I wish we were neighbors we would be best friends. Powerful message with nothing but truth and it’s sad
There is soo much depth to this! Thank you for sharing man....
i love your testimony and the detailing you bring forth. lol. this is a perfectly timed revealing. i was recently asked to be in a polyamorous relationship. i'm so not into that, but did consider it. i really liked the guy proposing it. but yea...no.
You are a very special person and you deserve someone who will appreciate you and your passion for love . I love all your videos and i think you will find that special someone because you are a special kinda of dude. Also if i didnt have someone special in my life i would totally love to find a guy with the quality you possess. Do the damn thang my friend go for yours my sexy brotha
It's still some of us out here that wants a relationship. Wants to date and get to know someone. Not into the hook up stuff. Treat yourself like a king. Stick to your guns, you will find what your looking for..
Another One! (DJ Khalid voice) Appreciate the time you take making these video speaking the Real, Raw, and Uncut truth. Much love Tripp and fellow comment cousins. (How did this storytime get a discussion going about is he a bottom? Like Chilllll lol focus on the greater discussion.
I have actually given a gift on the first date and I believe in chivalry. When such acts of sincere kindness presents itself, consider yourself Worthy of the intimacy and respect of your nature as it is a reflection of your divine soul🕊🙏🏾🕊🎼🌹
Hello Tripp i am living in the state of Texas yes I will love to be loved bye a person there isn't anything wrong that but always believe in your self Thanks
You called him a blouse...lol...I died right there.
It's never corny to be who you are.
Listen, you right. You gotta see how a person moves in real life and it requires meeting in person. The sooner the better.
Cuzzo, he was afraid of you rejecting him. If he wanted a three way he would have said it online. He let that come out of his mouth at the table because that was his way of sabotaging everything. His conversation and body language after the date was mentioned says it all.
I like this rendition it's really on point for me, whom rather talk in person
Greetings from Jamaica! I enjoy your videos with lots of life lessons. I also LOVED seeing you in the series. Take good care.
Thank you so much!
Favorite Cousin you dropped some real knowledge tonight. I've been single for a year by choice now I'm ready to start dating now I dont know where all the good guys went, I considered checking out some dating websites do you think thats a wise choice ❤️❤️❤️
So true I know I'm to old for thr newness cuzzin...good luck to you many blessings..I was just with someone that didnt match me I could say negative stuff but why its was good when it was good...and when it got bad I had to leave..so true people give you a representative lure you in..anyway longwinded here love to you!!
7:17 straight to the point lmao. This is the detailed version of that dating advice video he did with the three other dudes in Atlanta in the kitchen.
You are right man. You got to meet in person to see where they coming from. I done the social media thing and when I met the person I was like what the h...… Everything I was told was a lie.
Hello I just happened to pass through and saw one of your posts, forgive me if I forgot which one but they are all amazing. I am an older man but young at heart, I forget I am 52 and I do get compliments that I look younger. Point being that I watched and listened
to you and you address many great issues and god bless, your stories and situations eye opening. almost close to home. I find you like myself a hopeless romantic. Unfortunately the use of dating apps have lost their shine.I will admit that i have done hook ups, but engaged in great people and really tried to keep a flow. Did not work. Shortly thank you for your voice, hopefully many people who are listening will change the format of dating. Face to face.
Cousin Tripp,
Microwave Love. Yep, people on apps don't date!
Don't believe one damn thing people put on their profiles, and their social media!
Love from Orlando
Unfortunately Tripp, most people today are raised in a single family environment; so they haven't seen two adults that love and show a commitment to each other. You've said it yourself, we live in the computer ages and everyone is looking for quick gratification. This is not the world or society that our parents raised us up in. It is what it is. That's basically why I live and stay to myself. Some will say I'm cheating myself, I say , I like my peace and sanity. Hope you find that person you're looking for!
Thank You for the video. I FEEL YOU. That's why I live the Sugar Daddy life. Maybe someday that will change... But I'm NOT getting my HOPES up in terms of LOVE.
That was sweet of you, He didn't deserve it. But I get you bought it for him. You are a rare find.
I believe in real love, just people are just unreal online or not. It feels great to be approached by a guy in the store or out publicly . If they do approach you its a whole story line instead of just saying i'm feeling you
That's because you have discussed most of if not everything about each other. And it can be that whatever you were told in your text conversation may not have been true but that is what you look to find out when you meet
Thank you for sharing. Please continue to do so, I look forward to listening to you.
I still enjoy dating from the old school trying to take my time to get to know a person. try to see where your head going what u want out of live
So when we going on our first date??? I love Bath and Body Works. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Now you starting to preach now... Just stop looking it will find you...😭😭😭 Thank you Tripp. I needed to hear that part.
Amen
Now you know darn well you can't let no one see you vulnerable for two reasons, reason 1, the other person couldn't handle it, it would totally short circuit their brains and 2, they don't respect vulnerability they would totally treat you like shit, don't get me wrong I'm cool with a man who can show who they are on the inside, I started dating back in the 70s, we were cool, back then it was face to face you could meet a dude with a smile and there wasn't any craziness then
I want love but believe I continuously look for it in all the wrong places, then when I see what I want, I can't have it even after spending time with them and seeing their true self, but in the mist of "DATING" I've met the representative several times, then the real person comes to the table, which is not for me!
Yea its hard to find your mate
You hitting me in the chest Tripp I dont feel alone in this anymore. I am open to love. I love being in love sharing my life with someone. This single shit sucks and I get on my own nerves.
Yeah boss you better than me.
Flag #1: Endless texting
Flag #2: Farting around in regards to setting a date
Flag #3: Complaining about everything
Flag #4: Treating the staff like crap
Four flags are enough to ask for a To-Go box and for the check.
Seems strange he wasn't honest enough to tell you what type of relationship he was interested in during the time you two were DMing each other back and forth, doesn't it? Don't take this the wrong way, but a couple of things I've noticed about you from listening to a couple of your storytimes: (1) you wear your heart on your sleeve, and (2) even though red flags are waving furiously in front of your face, for some reason, you simply ignore them and keep trying to make things work out until it blows up in your face. When he called you complaining about not being able to find a parking spot, knowing that you had intentionally gotten to the restaurant two hours early, specifically for HIS benefit, was the first red flag that this person is somewhat inconsiderate. And, yes, I agree with the cashier; I wouldn't buy a gift for a complete stranger, meeting them for the very first time - who does that? A person who wears their heart on their sleeve, that's who.
Rodentcafeteria omg that's exactly what I was trying to say meaning if a nigga complains about the WATER and FOOD okay u got issues and a PARKING SPACE omg u DNT have to be dramatic about it just be HAPPY and positive that you meeting him I seriously don't understand how they vibes threw texting because I know yet just hold words but yes tripp you should know a lil bit better than that
rodentcafeteria
You gotta realize, some people are old school when it comes to dating..People like him, like romance, and romantic gestures..I remember dating with such purity, sincerity, and honesty....Now a days dating consist of a like on a post or sliding into someone's DM..lol..WTF ?...Smh.. Everything today is so stale, and generic..Nothing is from the heart anymore.. And one of the reasons is people have to many options... Everything is so microwaveable..
@@loveyu2778 Old school? When I was your age (and I'm significantly older than you), there was no social media, Instagram, Facebook, sliding into someone's DM, none of that shit. So, I know about old school. If you met someone, it was in the workplace, through a mutual friend, a party, etc. There was no on-line chatting or getting to know someone via emails. You're an old soul attempting to find love or true companionship in today's "microwaveable" society and that it virtually impossible (though not totally impossible). You seem like a genuinely nice guy and I get where you're coming from, but if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to STOP IGNORING RED FLAGS! God gave us "intuition" for a reason, and if something doesn't feel right, it's best to leave it alone in the early stages and you'll save yourself a lot of grief.
I believe in real love even doe I never had a man or been in a relationship at first I had low self-esteem but then as I grew older I realized that the world still goes on and now I am still single but I know God will bless me one day with that special person I dated true..and honestly I do got my apps still but I never hook up from those apps because my experience and tripp you absolutely right my soulmate could be out there because we only live life once
@@Almighty_Reader thanks I get the cute word alot
